Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, where host Jake Tapper asked him to respond to transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner’s critique that his objections to transgender people being allowed to use whichever bathroom they want is unfounded. Jenner was in New York City this week, where the reality TV star participated in a New […]

From Trump’s support of Planned Parenthood to his support of transgender bathrooms, Trump is no different than the rest of the establishment. I wonder when the Trump backers will realize they’ve been had. The 2016 GOP campaign has been overwhelmed by Donald Trump’s celebrity persona, by the can’t-take-your-eyes-off-it appearances where he might say or do anything — and “anything” includes […]

Crony socialism involves government tax and regulatory favoritism to protect special interests from market competition, so they can make more money at public expense. Senator Cruz calls this operation of the Washington Establishment to benefit their favored lobbyists and special interests “the Washington Cartel.” That is an apt description, because crony socialism operates in practice as an anti-competitive Cartel, shielding […]

Like the left, Trump’s followers believe what they feel, not what they can prove. The reviews of Donald Trump’s grand foray into foreign policy agreed on one thing, which is that Trump can’t even agree with himself. His Wednesday speech was an exercise in self-contradiction, a feast of incoherence, a walk up the down escalator. He pledges to be the […]

There were over 100 terror attacks this past week in Israel. This week as almost every week there were dozens of terror attacks of varying severity not reported in most major media outlets. We report on these silenced events to present a fuller picture of the reality in Israel and balance the picture presented to innocent readers abroad. We hope […]

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz pulled out a strategic victory at the Arizona Republican Party convention, nailing down a large majority of delegates to the national convention amid cheating accusations from backers of businessman Donald Trump. The Cruz slate won virtually all of the 28 at-large national delegates and roughly split the 27 delegates selected by congressional district. Former Gov. Jan […]

In a setback for Donald Trump, Indiana’s governor endorsed the front-runner’s chief rival, Ted Cruz, on Friday, injecting new drama into the state’s critical Republican primary contest just days before voters head to the polls. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence described Cruz as “a principled conservative” as he made his support official during an afternoon radio interview. “The man has shown […]

My reasons for not voting for Donald Trump, even in a general election against Hillary Clinton, are straightforward. Trump is not with me on any issue I care about, would be a terrible and unstable Commander-in-Chief, and would discredit and poison the party and the movement I believe in. Why on earth would I give my vote to him, ever? […]

Israel Police plan to award a commendation to a patrolman and an auxiliary policeman who killed the terrorist who had committed a string of attacks in Jaffa in early March, killing an American tourist and wounding 12. US Vice President Joe Biden was participating in an event at the Peres Center nearby while the attacks were taking place. District commander […]

Every four years, conservative Republicans get excited at the prospect of nominating a true believer, and every four years, they find themselves outmaneuvered by a moderate with high name recognition and serious difficulties differentiating himself from Democrats on major issues. That moderate candidate generally sweeps up the nominating contest with a strong showing in the more liberal Northeast, states like […]

In a key pickup for his California campaign, Ted Cruz is being endorsed by former Gov. Pete Wilson. Two Republicans with knowledge of Wilson’s decision told The Associated Press that the former governor and U.S. senator will announce his support for Cruz on Saturday at the state Republican Party convention in Burlingame. The Republicans spoke on condition of anonymity because […]

You cannot deny that Ted Cruz understands the game that he is playing right now. Objectively, Donald Trump accomplished nothing on Tuesday other than holding serve. He still has to win Indiana and do very well in California to reach 1,237, which means that he’s still in the exact same place he was before Tuesday started. However, Cruz understands that […]

Donald Trump complained today that the United States has “lacked a coherent foreign policy” since the end of the Cold War. His vow that a Trump administration would impose coherence is about as credible as his vow to make Mexico pay for his fantasy wall. Indeed, the foreign-policy speech was itself incoherent . . . quite apart from the fact that, just the blink […]

The myth of the [so-called] “moderate Palestinian” took another blow yesterday when students voted for Hamas over Fatah in student elections at Bir Zeit University. There is no such thing as “Palestine” or a “Palestinian”. It is a lie and a propaganda war intended to destroy Israel the Jewish people. Click here for more information. Such student elections are watched […]

It is only a matter of time before Trump makes another disparaging remark about Fiorina. When he does, watch Trump’s numbers crater. Ted Cruz has found a way to overshadow Donald Trump – pick Carly Fiorina to be his running mate. … What I love about this impending decision is how much it will bug Donald Trump. During his victory speech, […]

Joseph Goebbels said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” I only refer to Goebbels’ quote because it is the disingenuous tactic Trump has used against Ted Cruz. Trump has relentlessly repeated his outrageous “huge” lies that Cruz is a cheater, liar, and Washington DC insider. Folks, nothing could […]

PC: The Justice Department announced a plan to throw $1.75 million at young criminals in hopes that they don’t become adult criminals. But you’d never know that given the linguistic fog the DOJ has conjured up. A press release issued earlier this week describes a new $1.75 million grant program as designed “to help young people involved in the justice […]

With their bouffant hairstyles and pin-striped suits, the millionaire sons of Donald Trump are a chip off the old block when they appear among New York’s glitterati. But one area where Donald jnr and Eric Trump don’t see eye-to-eye with their father is in killing animals for fun. The pair have been forced to defend themselves against accusations of cruelty […]

Donald Trump may have swept the Republican primaries in five states last night, but Tuesday wasn’t all good news for the real estate mogul. A New York judge ruled that a fraud case against the businessman over Trump University will go to trial. New York County Supreme Court Judge Cynthia Kern made the decision at a hearing Tuesday, though it remains unclear […]

Likud MK calls for Israel to become independent, so that it won’t need US financial aid, and can be a world power in its own right. Likud MK Yoav Kish, a fighter pilot in the Israel Air Force reserves, on Wednesday called on Israel to aspire to a situation in which it is independent enough to be able to refuse […]

This is just brilliant. Eli Lake tweets on Super Tuesday explaining Trump’s tardy arrival to his own victory party. The anti-establishment populist is late to his victory speech because he was at a Manhattan party hosted by Time Magazine. #justsaying — Eli Lake (@EliLake) April 27, 2016 What can you add to that? It’s pretty much perfect. People keep falling […]

Asylum seekers have left an asylum home and have smeared blood, vomit and faeces all over the walls according to police. In preparation for the visit of U.S. President Barack Obama, riot police in the German town of Hameln needed somewhere for the officers to stay overnight. The police were offered a barracks that previously held migrants but were shocked […]

My first reaction to the detente between Ted Cruz and John Kasich is a question. What the heck took them so long? Predictably, Donald Trump had a temper tantrum accusing Cruz and Kasich of engaging in collusion. No, Cruz and Kasich did not engage in collusion much less do anything illegal. They made a deal. Hasn’t Trump been telling us he’s […]

And that’s only counting those that admit it! There is no such thing as “Palestine” or a “Palestinian”. It is a lie and a propaganda war intended to destroy Israel the Jewish people. Click here for more information. The latest JMCC poll of Palestinian youth find yet again that a majority support stabbing Israelis: In answer to the question “To […]

That was a rhetorical question. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is reportedly hiring another veteran political operative to help him win delegates required to secure the nomination, Bloomberg News reported. Ken McKay, who worked as Chris Christie’s campaign manager before the New Jersey governor dropped his presidential bid, will work as a senior adviser for Trump’s campaign on the team […]

Israeli authorities on Tuesday evicted eight Jewish visitors from the Temple Mount complex in response to what security forces said was inappropriate behavior at the [Jews most] holy site. As Israeli Jews celebrate Passover, the security services are on high alert as part of an effort to head off any attempts by religious Jews to make overt gestures on Temple […]

It doesn’t matter how much money Trump has, he still hires losers. Donald Trump added to his stable of political insiders on Monday when announced the hiring of Ken McKay, former campaign manager for Chris Christie, The New York Times reports. McKay “will support our delegate operations team and bolster our ground-game efforts,” Trump said in a written statement. “He […]

The Cruz-Kasich alliance has drawn a lot of attention, with lines dividing those who think it’s a savvy move and those who feel it won’t work. Senator Cruz insists this is a deal with more long range goals in mind that simply defeating Trump by keeping him from reaching the magic number of 1,237 delegates. This is to defeat the […]

Investigative journalist reveals UNRWA schools hold terror celebrations, Israel ignores and blocks US law against terror indoctrination. At a facility in Judea of UNRWA, the UN body tasked with caring for “Palestinian refugees,” a festive ceremony was held on Monday honoring Abd al-Hamid Abu Srour, the 19-year-old Hamas terrorist who exactly a week ago bombed a bus in southeastern Jerusalem. Journalist David […]

So much for Donald Trump’s promise to become a more “serious” candidate. The apparent alliance between Ted Cruz and John Kasich has set him off, again. Trump is promising a revolt if the nomination isn’t given to him, but is, instead, snagged by Cruz or Kasich at the convention in July. In what was a rambling, trademark Trump speech at […]

For as neutral as Rush Limbaugh has professed to be in the Republican race, he couldn’t keep from laughing at Donald Trump‘s declaration earlier today that the “colluding” Ted Cruz and John Kasich are doing is somehow criminal. Trump reacted to his rivals teaming up against him by bizarrely linking it to businessmen going to jail if they “collude.” This […]

We here at JTF would like to add two more reasons: Trump wants to force Israel to make deals with Muslim terrorists, and he wants to make a new nuclear deal with terrorist Iran! When my friends who love Donald Trump tell me they support him, I understand the reasons they find him attractive as a candidate. He’s a charismatic, politically […]

Once again, Senator Ted Cruz blew Donald Trump’s amateurish operation out of the water on Saturday, crushing the Donald in a near-total victory. At stake: who is sent to the convention as a delegate. Those elected to represent are in almost all cases only bound to vote for the primary or caucus winner on the first ballot. After that they […]

This week as almost every week there were dozens of terror attacks of varying severity not reported in most major media outlets. We report on these silenced events to present a fuller picture of the reality in Israel and balance the picture presented to innocent readers abroad. We hope that by reporting these incidents we can raise awareness so that […]

Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich are forming an alliance, uniting behind a common goal of defeating Donald Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal. Both campaigns issued statements that outlined their plans. Cruz will focus on winning delegates in Indiana, while Kasich will aim his efforts at Oregon and New Mexico. “Having Donald Trump at the top […]

And Israeli police remove two Jewish visitors from the Temple Mount to appease Muslims. The government of Jordan warned Israel on Sunday there would be “grave repercussions” if Jews continue to ascend to the Temple Mount to visit Judaism’s holiest site over the Passover holiday. Officials in Amman issued a statement warning of “grave repercussions of break-ins by groups of […]

Is the left suggesting that blacks and minorities can’t speak or write? There is open racism being spouted around the world, a good chunk of it out the lips of leftists who conceive of themselves as social justice warriors, progressive champions of the oppressed, or other such blather. To them, black people (or any other designated group they are trying […]

This is a bizarre story, for several reasons. First off: Donald Trump was widely expected to win Delaware’s 16 delegates anyway. Second, as this Politico article noted Trump started out with a better reputation among longtime Delaware Republicans than he does elsewhere (I mean, it’s not like Delaware’s Maine or anything).  Third, and most importantly: who the heck thinks that […]

I have written many times on this outlet about the dangers of Donald Trump’s candidacy. Last year, I predicted how the conservative media was going to allow him to at least negatively alter the process, if not win the GOP nomination. Now that he has effectively clinched that nomination (or at least created a situation where it would require an […]

Ted Cruz on Thursday blasted Donald Trump for opposing North Carolina’s new bathroom law, saying his rival is giving in to “political correctness” and that the country has “gone off the deep end” about the issue. Trump said earlier Thursday that North Carolina should not have passed the law directing transgender people to use the bathroom that matches the gender […]

He just can’t take a hint. He just can’t take a hint. Despite being spat on repeatedly by the Iranian regime following his generous gift of an historic nuclear deal, President Barack Obama reportedly now seeks a private meeting with President Hassan Rouhani. Apparently, Obama has even sent secret letters to senior Iranian officials requesting such a meeting. “President Obama asked to […]

Donald Trump is going to tone down the bluster and adopt a new “persona” as he builds a relationship with the GOP political establishment he’s bashed throughout his unorthodox campaign, his campaign chief told party leaders. The GOP presidential front-runner’s new campaign chief, Paul Manafort, in an address to about 100 Republican National Committee members at a closed-door meeting in […]

“The math is certain, it’s time to move on to fighting Hillary.” The current real numbers are just fine, Trump was expected to win New York, optimistic news I had received not with standing. Yes Trump got 90 delegates. Yes he did well. Yes Kasich got 5 delegates, his first in how long? Yes yes and yes. And No I […]

From bathrooms to abortions, Bloomberg’s John Heilemann believes that in his heart, Donald Trump is a social liberal. Heilemann made his assertion on today’s With All Due Respect in the context of discussing Trump’s comments on a Today town hall this morning in which he was critical of the North Carolina transgender bathroom law, and said he’d have no problem letting […]

There are more illegal immigrant criminals in the United States than the population of major U.S. cities, Rep. Trey Gowdy argues, expressing frustration at the Obama administration’s focus on the plight of illegal immigrants rather than the victims of their crimes. “Today there are over 350,000 known criminal aliens in the United States who are not detained by ICE, 350,000,” […]
